Definitions

• the present invention relates to an epilator comprising a frame and two parallel epilation heads. Each of the heads with its own motorization and suspension.
• the mechanical depilatory apparatus generally consists of one or two hair removal heads.
• the depilating heads generally consist of a plurality of adjacent disks mounted on a prestressed resilient element in a curved configuration and rotatably mounted on a support.
• the adjacent disks have spacers and hinge elements causing the tilting of these disks during their rotation to turn them into hair removal tweezers.
• the adjacent disks When rotating, the adjacent disks generally tilt in pairs and form a diverging aperture region and a converging compression zone where some disks are pressed against each other, thereby forming grippers for gripping and gripping. removal of hair from the skin.
• Epilators comprising two heads consisting of two parallel cylinders prestressed in curved configuration and rotatably mounted on a support are well known to those skilled in the art. Such epilators are for example illustrated in EP I 839 522; FR 2,690,820; US 2005/0187563; US D 611198; EP 1 839 522; BR 8600524 U; JP 2006/175026; EP 1 262 117 or JP 09 056446.
• Epilators disclosed in these documents have a common motor to both heads, which requires a common transmission does not allow independent operation of each head.
• the parameters that can be managed independently are, for example, the speeds and the directions of rotation of the two heads as well as their positioning or the flexibility of the suspension.
• the state of the art does not include any two-head epilator, where all the features described above, such as motorizations and independent suspensions, are combined within the same device.
• the epilation heads of the state of the art can not therefore be managed independently. Goals of the invention
• the present invention aims to provide an epilator with two parallel heads which, in use, can be managed completely independently through a motor and a suspension system specific to each of the two heads.
• the present invention discloses an epilator comprising a frame and two independent epilation heads with an engine and an individual suspension for each of the heads.
• the preferred embodiments of the invention comprise at least one, or any suitable combination, of the following characteristics:
• the epilation heads are in the form of rollers with parallel axes equipped with pinching means;
• the distance between the pinching means is different on the two epilation heads
• the frame comprises an adjustment of the speed and the direction of rotation of each of the two hair removal heads
• the epilation heads are removable to allow, in use, to alternate them;
• the individual suspension means comprise springs;
• the individual suspension means comprise individual means for adjusting the springs.
• Figure 1 shows a two-head epilator according to the state of the art.
• Figure 2 shows an epilator according to the invention with its engines and individual suspensions.
• Figure 3 shows an epilator according to the invention applied to the skin and showing the possibilities of adaptation to the curvature of the skin.
• Figure 4 shows a three-dimensional view with the individual suspensions of the two heads.
• FIGS 5 and 6 show in detail other functions of the epilator according to the invention.
• Hair removal is a complex subject because the evaluation of the performance of an epilator by a user is extremely subjective. Some users will favor efficiency, where others prefer less aggressive epilators for the skin. In addition, the evaluation of the epilator also depends on the type of skin and the hairiness of the user. There are therefore no truly quantifiable mechanical parameters to achieve "the" best epilator.
• the hair removal heads are defined as generally cylindrical shaped rollers, equipped with pinching means.
• the epilator 1 has for each head 5 a setting 6 of the speed and the direction of rotation. Intermittent speed changes can even be considered with this type of epilator. It also has a set of interchangeable heads to customize the epilator mechanism itself by choosing for example complementary curvatures and the type of edges on the clamps 7 or the distance between the discs in a complementary manner.
• the independent management of the speeds and the directions of rotation makes it possible to use the two depilating heads 5 in a complementary manner by arranging, for example, the profile and / or the spacing of the hair removal discs situated on each head 5.
• the diameter and the curvature of each head can also be adapted to operate in a complementary manner.
• the epilator 1 according to the invention can function as two completely independent epilators contiguous to each other, the choices made on a hair removal head does not interfere with the choices on the other head.
• the choice of clamps 7, materials, diameters and positioning is free for each of the heads, which allows to establish the best complementarity or even synergy between both heads. These parameters can therefore be tailored to the needs of each user.
• This suspension system can be constructed in an adjustable manner (see Fig.2), which allows to better absorb all the ripples of the skin, like a car where each wheel is equipped with an individual shock absorber.
